Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review

Do you think you can lose 10 pounds within 30 days? Yes, you can. I see there are lots of people who say you can lose more than 10 pounds within 10 days but I suggest you to stay away from that kind of article. I think it's almost impossible for you to lose that much unless you stop eating and take exercises at least 2 hours per day.

Weight loss is not only about how to lose weight but the most important thing is to eat properly. The answer to your question "how to lose 10 pounds" is your dedication. So do you have enough dedication to lose 10 pounds within 30 days? If yes, then read these steps:

1. Take a calorie shifting method. For you who do not know, calorie shifting is a method which tells you to eat four or even five times a day (not three times). However, you will eat less every time. For example: You usually eat 800 calories in breakfast, dinner, and lunch. With calorie shifting, you will eat less, maybe around 550 calories each meal. But remember, you will eat more often, about four times per day. This will help you to consume less and keep you away from hunger.

2. If you do not have time to go to fitness centre, you must learn to walk or jog. Spend around 40 minutes per day to jog or run. If you also do not have time for this, then try to walk. You can go walking to your office instead of using your car. You can also use stairs instead of elevator. There are plenty of choices to help your body metabolism. Don't be lazy. Remember, 40 minutes per day is needed.

3. It's almost impossible to lose 10 pounds within 30 days unless you take a diet pill. What I mean diet pill is a product which can absolutely helps you in a healthy way. There are plenty of useless pills out there so I suggest you to be careful about this. You might want to talk with me about the best diet pill.

In overall, it's not hard to lose 10 pounds but you need dedication to do that. A dedication to eat less, a dedication to work more, and a dedication to stay healthy. If you follow my steps, you maybe will say bye, bye to your old question: "How to lose 10 pounds within 30 days?"

In this article we are going to discuss a problem that not many women will openly acknowledge as one of the primary reasons for wanting to lose weight - they are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts! Interestingly enough, and this is a phenomenon that is even much more shunned with men, but there is a large and ever growing population in the male community who are taking dramatic steps to diminish the size of their chest fat as well. Read on as we look at this touchy issue a little bit closer, for good news for both sexes alike!

It is important to remember that there really aren't any specific diets designed to target the breast area. No matter what you read, or hear advertised, weight comes off the body in fairly even distribution, and there is absolutely NO diet in the world that will work more aggressively in one part of the body over another. This does not mean that it won't be more NOTICABLE in one part of the body over another though. And the breasts, both in women and in men are one of the very first places to show significant losses! So this is good news for ANYONE who is self conscious about the size of their breasts, or the fat on the chest.

It is actually ironic that some women claim that while they love their new bodies after our diet, they only wish their breasts hadn't "shrunk" as well..:-) But that is what happens, there are exercises of course you can do to keep yourself toned and lean and looking phenomenal though, so don't worry about your chest if you've lost too much weight...it's going to look great as well! And for men, you will see the same effects, the first place you should notice weight loss will be in your face and neck, and then VERY shortly thereafter, your chest fat WILL start to melt away as well.

It looks like men and women have a little bit more in common than we thought..:-)

No More Chubby Tummy I told My Hubby!

Read on...to discover how you can lose weight, feel great, and turn heads on the beach, in the boardroom and in the bedroom...guaranteed!

(Even if you've never lost a pound on ANY diet ever before!)

You are working on your weight loss program and you have been working on it for weeks or months and you feel no closer to the goal. You can't believe you aren't there yet, and maybe people are criticizing you, and have stopped believing in your ability to pull it off. You are the one being overcome, not the obstacles you are facing. It can be so frustrating working on a project like weight loss and getting fit, and you can get discouraged.

THERE IS HOPE.

Sometimes you've just got to put one foot in front of the other and keep going - even though it's tough, boring, uncomfortable, maddening, frustrating, upsetting, and depressing.

PERSEVERE - Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not - nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not - unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not - the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. - Calvin Coolidge

Another thought to Keep in mind:

Even a journey of 10,000 miles begins with one step.

You can only accomplish things one step at a time. That's how everything gets done. So your weight loss is taking more time than you had hoped. It's more difficult than you had hoped. When things get rough sometimes all you can do is put one foot in front of the other.

Try not to get bogged down in discouragement. You are not alone, and if the people around you have lost faith in your ability and you have too, just keep moving forward. You don't need confidence and you don't need faith in yourself. All you need is to take the next step in the right direction.

"If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative." -Woody Allen

If your weight loss programs aren't effective, this program is the new fast and easy way to lose the fat:

In many sports, a high level of aerobic fitness is necessary for optimal performance because it promotes endurance and assists recovery in "stop-and-go" type sports such as ice hockey. To improve aerobic fitness, coaches have traditionally prescribed long and tedious sessions of continuous sub-maximal exercise for athletes, regardless of their sport-specific metabolic demands.

Most team sports are not characterized by continuous sub-maximal movement speeds BUT/ rather these sports demand periods of high-intensity effort interspersed with maximal bursts of speed and periods of almost complete inactivity. Take soccer for example, a player may move at a moderate speed for minutes while following the play and then will be forced to sprint at their maximal pace for the ball. After that, the player could be faced with a stoppage in play of up to a minute due to various factors.

Considering the endless possibilities, is long-duration, moderate-intensity aerobic training the best method of conditioning these types of athletes? In my opinion it is not. What then are the alternatives? Let us consider "aerobic interval (AI) training" as a more beneficial manner at increasing the aerobic fitness and sport-specific muscular endurance of an athlete in a "stop-and-go" team sport.

Aerobic interval training provides a more sport-specific training intensity, a greater training stimulus that can be applied to the muscles used in the specific activities, and may also be an advanced training method for endurance training athletes looking to overcome a plateau in their aerobic fitness levels.

The intensity level of this training technique is much higher than the intensity level commonly associated with aerobic training. The exercise stimulus may in fact be very damaging to the muscle in its initial attempts and can result in muscle soreness in the days following the training session.

Therefore, prior to beginning a "full-blown" training regimen of AI's, the athlete should develop general muscular strength and endurance and perform a short "lead-in" program of general aerobic exercise (2 weeks; 3 sessions per week; 20 minutes; high-intensity; sport-specific activity).

The initial (first week; 2 sessions) AI training sessions should be conservative in training volume (3-5 intervals) to accustom the muscles and joints to the intensity. As well, a thorough and specific warm-up should be performed as well as pre- and post-exercise flexibility routines.

AI training involves alternating bouts of exercise with recovery periods. A sport-specific mode of exercises is performed for a short duration (2-5 minutes) and followed by an equal length rest interval. High-intensity work is the key factor in this type of training. By incorporating rest intervals, the athlete can work at a much higher (and more sport-specific) power output in comparison to traditional aerobic training.

Determining the intensity of the exercise bout is definitely the trickiest component of the training prescription. The "work" pace should elicit the individual's maximal heart rate by the end of the exercise bout. For example, if a 20-year old athlete (max HR = ~200) ran a 3-minute interval then their 10-second heart rate count should be ~ 33 beats (33 x 6 = 198) at the end of exercise. An example distance for a 3-minute running interval would be ~ 800m. Basically, the athlete wants to pick a training intensity that they believe they could hold constant for up to 10-minutes.

Obviously, picking the intensity can be very subjective unless the facility has "high-tech" training equipment. As the AI intensity should correspond to about 95-100% of the individual's VO2 max, if the athlete has access to high-tech training technology then a more accurate training prescription may be allowed.

Providing an adequate and complete rest interval is paramount! The rest interval must be of an extremely low-intensity so that sufficient recovery will occur and the next work interval can again be performed at a high power output. Do not sacrifice the quality of rest because this will only reduce the benefit of AI training. A reduced recovery will prevent lactate clearance (lactate = muscle fatigue), phosphate energy (CP & ATP) recovery, and improvements in aerobic metabolism. Remember this is not continuous training!

Many athletes that have traditionally trained with only long-slow distance workouts may have difficulty with this concept at the outset of the program, however these athletes will soon become more comfortable in taking a full-length recovery interval.

At ~ 2-minutes of maximal exercise the contribution of the anaerobic & aerobic energy systems are nearly equal and at 5-minutes the contribution is 30% anaerobic & 70% aerobic. Therefore, the high-intensity, short-duration nature of AI allows sport-specific demands to be applied. Training at such a high-intensity recruits the fast-twitch muscle fibers. These fibers are predominantly responsible for anaerobic performance, BUT/ by improving the aerobic system of these fibers, they will be able to recover quicker and be ready to contribute to sprint-performance with less rest time.

The adaptations in the body will be occurring predominantly at the muscle level. The muscle fibers will increase their ability to extract and use oxygen, BUT/ the improvements on oxygen delivery (heart and lung adaptations) may be minimal. The athlete will also improve their ability to tolerate lactate (lactic acid buildup in the muscle and blood) and will be ready to start ANAEROBIC INTERVAL training in the pre-season.

ANAEROBIC intervals match precisely the demands of the sport. For example, a hockey ANAEROBIC interval would be maximal exercise for 30-45 seconds followed by 1-3 minutes of recovery. ANAEROBIC INTERVAL training prescription needs to be addressed in an article of its own, perhaps in the near future...

AEROBIC INTERVAL training prescription

: 2-3 minutes & equal recovery

: progress to 10-12 intervals

: @ 95-100% VO2max; don't go TOO hard! (8-10 min pace)

: ~ maxHR at end of interval

Warmup Work Interval Recovery Interval

Fluids should be available at all times throughout the training session to help combat dehydration. Unfortunately many athletes may not feel comfortable consuming a high-volume of water OR sports drink while undergoing this intensity of training. To compensate, ensure adequate pre-hydration (make it a habit to drink sufficient fluids daily) and excess post-exercise fluid intake. The athlete should use AI to train the body to consume fluids during rest intervals of competition. Remember the importance of being well hydrated (dehydration can cause a reduction in endurance).

WARNING:

Your legs will feel like JELLO upon completion of this workout for the first time! The muscle glycogen (carbohydrate energy) stores will be extremely depleted and muscle fatigue will be high also due to lactate accumulation. Therefore, take caution in the scheduling of the remainder of your training day and the following day because of reduced neuromuscular coordination and fatigue. However, full recovery should occur within 24-48 hours. Make sure to consume a high-carbohydrate snack immediately after exercise and to maintain a diet with sufficient carbohydrate foods and fluids.

Therefore, AI training should occur in a sport-specific manner. The intensity and duration of the intervals should increase in specificity as the pre-season draws closer. Therefore, AI's train the body to perform repeated intervals of high-power outputs with the end result being an increase in sport performance.

There are all sorts of short term things you can do to quickly drop some pounds but they are not feasible for the long term, of course. But the best way to lose weight quickly and for good is to eat small meals several times per day.

Do not have a set time to eat a meal. In other words if you have a regimental routine of eating, say every nine o'clock you eat breakfast, two o'clock lunch etc. Your body becomes used to this routine and always expect the fat for storage.

When you eat regularly, and at different times in small portions, your body does not store fat. It knows there is food right around the corner and does not store fat by thinking there is a famine. If you where to eat a food that contained 60 calories but our body uses 90 calories to digest that food then you will actually be 30 calories better off than before you ate the food. This is therefore a negative calorie.

Most food of course contain more calories than you would use to digest it and this is where the program comes in as they provide you with the full guide of the foods which will help the weight loss diet to work. The big question of course though is whether it actually works.

Using moderate weights does not result in huge muscle mass, but it increases the body metabolism, firms the body and gives a slim look. Aerobic exercises can enhance your heart beat rate and breathing. Most people employ just the cardio side of losing weight. Which it is not bad but it more works the heart and lungs. You must incorporate a muscle workout of some kind. This is missing factor with so many.

Skip fake foods and supplements, and eat real.

To make your healthy transformation easier, the first step is to change your thinking. Look at the whole picture. Sure, you may want to drop a few pounds of extra fat, but is that all? Do you want healthy, supple skin? How about more energy for doing fun activities? Would you like to enjoy gorgeous shiny hair? How about fewer bouts of influenza, constipation, or indigestion? What you put into your body directly effects how well or poorly it functions. Nutrients from supplements are generally not as complete as the nutrients found in foods, and supplements contain only the ones that have already been discovered by scientists.

Focus on adding more nutritious foods to your diet, and don't dwell on depriving yourself of less nutritious, calorie rich foods.

The South beach diet has been one of the most popular ways to lose weight for several years. Now there is a new surge in popularity among Vegetarians. The South beach diet is based on the intake of more Protein and less Carbohydrates, because of this, the diet has not been appealing to vegetarians.

Vegetarians are now modifying the popular diet to fit there lifestyle. There are lots of great vegetarian recipes available that work perfectly with the South beach diet plan. During the first phase of this diet many dieter's experience weight loss of 8 to 12 pounds.

A great recipe to start with is the Chili recipe below.

Ingredients

3/4 cup dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
3/4 cup coarsely chopped onions
1/2 large sweet red pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 large green pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 tablespoons mild chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Drain and rinse the beans. Set aside. In a large saucepan, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and sizzle for 5 seconds. Add the garlic, onions, red peppers, green peppers, chili powder and oregano. Saut over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the beans and water.

Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender. (Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry during cooking.)

Stir in the tomato paste and salt. Cook for 2 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro.

Scientists believe new supplement may be the greatest ever.

Hoodia Gordonii is a great addition to any diet plan. Hoodia is an appetite suppressant that some scientisits believe may be the most powerful weight loss supplement ever discovered. The Hoodia Breakthrough Hoodia has been eaten by the San Bushmen who live in the Kalihari desert for centuries. There are no known side effects to Hoodia. Participants in studies have shown an appetite reduction of 1,000 calories per day. Anyone who is serious about losing weight should look into Hoodia more... Continue

A diet pill marketed it, at least from what I can tell, purely online staking a claim several years ago that 10 Superfoods (brazilian acai, cayenne pepper fruit, garlic, soybeans, barley, wheatgrass, kefir, alfalfa, flaxseed and buckwheat) help people lose weight, be rid of acne, and lose wrinkles. The skin claims are supported by the theories and products of Dr. Perricone, an anti-aging guru whose main liftoff point happened when he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show.

This diet pill was called Lipovox. Since it's debut, it's been a top seller on ebay and has branched into other online store venues as well.

Now we see a new product called Leptovox. What's different about it? Not too much honestly. It also offers the same superfood ingredients with a few different anti-oxidants.

The diet pill industry is an industry of copycats. When something good comes along, it's copied quickly. As the internet has grown, the ability of companies to mimic each other's moves has increased as well. A diet pill company can release a flagship product on Monday and see a copy (or close) of it from their competitor on Friday. And I'm not exaggerating.

This appears to be what Leptovox is poised to do, positioning themselves as being a superior offering because they bundle a carb/fat blocker, detox, and "feel good" product with their sale of Leptovox. What's my take on the whole thing? It's a net plus for the consumers, so I give it a thumbs up.

As we see more and more entrants into the diet pill market, to compete with heavy hitters such as Lipovox, we're going to see prices driven down. Case in point: Lipovox recently dropped their price from 31.99 to 29.99. You may scoff at a modest two dollar decrease, but we're talking about a 6.25% hit to their bottom line. I imagine their response was due to the pressure put on them from Leptovox.

In the end, this competition will drive prices down, and quality and transparency up, giving the consumers exactly what they need.

Cal Stevens is the author of his own diet pill review site where he's reviewed both Lipovox and Leptovox for the benefit of his readers.

People following the famous Atkins diet often encounter an unexpected and unpleasant side effect - Atkins diet bad breath. It's not their imagination that the diet causes an unpleasant odor on the breath, and it's very difficult to get rid of the problem while remaining on the diet. That's because this particular type of bad breath is not caused by the usual things.

Most cases of bad breath are caused by the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) in the mouth. Anaerobic oral bacteria live in our mouths by the billions. They derive nutrition from food particles, sloughed off skin cells and other body proteins. When certain species predominate - species that produce VSC as a byproduct of metabolism - an unpleasant odor on the breath results. In the case of Atkins diet bad breath, the odor is not coming from the mouth and it isn't produced by the metabolism of bacteria. It's produced by the person's own metabolism.

The Atkins diet is based on severely restricting carbohydrates in the diet - especially in the early stages, dieters are allowed virtually no carbohydrates at all. Since carbohydrates are the usual source of energy in the body, their restriction forces the body to look for other sources of energy. It turns to stored fat - fat cells that most dieters have in plenty. When the human metabolism starts to break down fat cells for energy, a process called ketosis, ketones are produced as a byproduct and this is the agent of Atkins diet bad breath. Ketones are expelled in the urine and in the breath. In the breath, they are detected as a distinctly unpleasant odor - bad breath.

It's difficult to resolve the problem of Atkins diet bad breath as long as you stay on the diet: as long as your metabolism has no carbohydrates to break down, ketones will be produced by the breakdown of fat. Indeed, ketosis is the aim of the Atkins diet in the first place. In later stages of the diet, enough carbohydrates may be added to alleviate the problem; however, some dieters will have to settle for more carbohydrates and slower weight loss if they cannot tolerate the halitosis.

Breath freshening products may provide some relief and won't compromise the diet as long as they do not contain carbohydrates. For this particular problem, the products such as lozenges and breath strips that have a strong odor, usually mint, to mask bad breath are the best choices. Many people, however, will find it difficult to continue their use over the long term. For persistent Atkins diet bad breath, the best solution may be to find a different diet.

R. Drysdale is a freelance writer with more than 25 years experience as a health care professional. She is a contributing editor to Atkins Diet Bad Breath, a blog dedicated to the treatment of bad breath.

Are you trying to lose fat on the treadmill? Do you spend endless hours on the elliptical trainer trying your best to slim down? You need to know the truth about aerobic exercising and fat loss. Cardiovascular exercises may be great for your heart, but it is not the best way to lose fat quickly. According to the latest exercise news, there are new, more efficient ways to lose your gut. But there's a bonus: the rapid approach to fat loss is also fastest way to build muscle.

We have all been taught for years that putting in lots of treadmill time (or doing similar aerobic exercises) was the best way to burn excess body fat. However, this turns out not to be the case.

Cardio exercises still work, but they are an inefficient way to get results. With the tightly scheduled lives that most people lead, there is not much room for inefficient exercising. Plus, it's possible that cardio exercises may actually lose their effectiveness over time. The worst part of it is that you could also exposing yourself to injury and muscle loss.

What is the fastest way to lower body fat and build pure muscles? Turns out that the answer is weight training. Doing the right kind of weight training is absolutely the fastest way to build muscle and slim down at the same time.

Accomplishing body fat loss requires increased metabolism. Research has proven that the best way to increase your metabolism is a consistent program of resistance training. Increased metabolism also helps to burn fat after the workout is over. This means that the benefits of weight training are both immediate and long-lasting.

To get the full benefit of a weight training program, you will need to do more than just add weights to your cardio routine. Spending hours and hours of going through the motions is not going to help you achieve your goals. The real key to success is intensity and targeting a complete set of muscle groups.

The problem with cardio or aerobic exercising for fat loss and muscle building is that cardio is a long period of activity at low to moderate intensity levels. Not only is the intensity lower than optimum, many muscle groups are left out.

If you really want to build muscle, you need to use a program that has a high level of intensity which also targets lots of muscle groups. Then work to the point of fatigue. This program will guarantee you maximum return on your effort. You will begin to build muscle and, at the same time, stoke your fat-burning furnace.

This method is called turbulence. If you have unlimited time and not very much to lose, then my all means stay on that treadmill. But if you need to build muscle and burn fat quickly, then add turbulence to your workout. You can expect to see results right away.

Unlike gym memberships and expensive workout equipment, fitness ebooks dont cost you an arm and a leg and they dont require you to leave your house to go workout. Everything you need is packed into one solid .pdf file. This is the power of fitness ebooks - theyre cost-efficient, electronic books that you can instantly download onto your hard drive for immediate use. Thats why when it comes to fitness training - ebooks are the way to go.

Not only do they provide you with the knowledge you need in order to reach your set fitness goals, you can always refer back to them at any time in case you forget about a specific point. If you were at a seminar or a public gym being taught by a fitness guru, you would have to take notes on every single thing he/she said in order to intake all the information. That kind of learning just isnt necessary with ebooks - and thats why they are not only cost-efficient (most cost around $10-$30), but fitness ebooks are also time-efficient - you learn much quicker.

Most good fitness ebooks give you exercises that dont require heavy machinery or expensive workout equipment. Just exercises that can be done using either your own body-weight or your own environment. And there are some very good body-weight exercises out there, that give you a full-body workout just like as if you were using a machine.

Im not saying gym memberships and workout machines/equipment are bad. No, they most certainly arent. Im saying that theyre often expensive and that ebooks are easier on the wallet. You can choose whichever option best suits you. If you like seeing $80 deducted from your bank account every month for a gym membership, or spending $300 on the latest Bowflex, then go right ahead and throw your hard-earned money away for the same stuff you can find in a well-written ebook that would probably only cost you around $20.

Want the absolute best fitness ebook that teaches everything that you would learn in a gym or seminar, plus more? Then you have to check out Inhuman Stamina.

With the growing number of people in America being overweight dieting is the number one thing on people's minds. There are so many new products on the market everyday. How do you know what to choose? You want something that is comfortable for your lifestyle and that also works.

Most people know or would agree that crash diets and pills do not produce long term weight loss. They are just a temporary fix. To keep weight off there has to be a lifestyle change involved. This can be such a slow process and we live in the time of wanting instant results.

Some suggestions to help you control your weight would be:

* Choose low-fat, low calorie foods
* Eat smaller portions
* Drink the required daily allowance of water that your body needs
* Get exercise

To maintain your weight you must burn as many calories as you take in. To lose weight you must burn more calories than you take in. This is the only way weight loss can be accomplished.

If you would like to learn how to lose weight without crash diets or pills go to my site by clicking the link below. You will also find more information about diet programs as well. You can look at all the sites on my blog and find something that is right for you.

Diabetes is a fast spreading epidemic. It is afflicting people irrespective of their cast, creed or age. Statistics published by the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse reveals that almost 20.8 million [roughly 7% of the population] suffer from diabetes.

Research has shown that diabetes is a life-style disease. Most people, living in the twenty-first century, live a fast paced life. The daily pressure of deadlines, stress, the consumption of processed foods and the lack of wholesome meal has meant that more and more people are now falling victims to diseases like obesity and diabetes.

The medical fraternity on its part is trying to find out ways to find a cure and prevent the occurrence of such diseases. Doctors have realized that diet can prove an important ally in fighting diabetes and obesity. Large minor changes and a few major changes can go a long way in preventing the occurrence of life-style related diseases. In fact, a few doctors have come out with their own diet plans. The South Beach diet is one of them. This phenomenally successful diet is formulated by Dr. Arthur Agatston. According to Dr. Agatston, the South Beach Diet can truly become a lifestyle. Weight loss can be sustained and the manifestations of pre-diabetes and, often, of type 2 diabetes can be reversed.

South Beach diet clearly demarcates the entire gamut of food products based on good and bad carbohydrates.

Glycemic index is used to categorize carbohydrates as good or bad. The glycemic index is a dietary index that's used to rank carbohydrate-based foods. The Glycemic Index predicts the rate at which the ingested food will increase blood sugar levels.

According to South Beach diet, the consumption of bad carbohydrates to be avoided as it causes an upsurge in the release of insulin as well as makes one feel hungrier. This leads to over eating and subsequent weight gain. Weight gain makes one more vulnerable to diabetes. Hence, South Beach diet suggests that to remain healthy avoid bad carbohydrates from reaching your food plate.

However, many are skeptic about the South Beach diets ability to control diabetes. The American Diabetes Association does not approve of glycemic index. It is of the opinion of that glycemic index plays a little role in weight control. Rather it is the amount of carbohydrates that directly affects weight.

Others are of the opinion that whole grain breads and fruits do not contain god carbohydrates. According to Dr. Mercola, those sensitive to carbohydrates, subclinical gluten, or find it difficult to control their insulin levels, should view the intake of fruits and grains as a recipe for disaster. He also criticizes the recommendation of artificial sweeteners by Dr. Agatston. Dr. Mercola says that past studies have shown that artificial sweeteners increase the incidence of diabetes, cancer etc.

Thus, as far as diabetes is concerned some are of the opinion that South Beach diet does aid in control and prevention of diabetes whereas others remain skeptical.

You don't have to do cardio for weight loss at all. None. Shocking, isn't it? We've been told so many times you have to cardio, aerobics, and cardio in the fat burn zone in order to burn fat. But the truth? You have to control your diet. How you burn calories for weight loss is less important.

The latest research from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has shown that an 8-week cardio program (3 sessions per week of 40 minutes per session) did not result in any fat loss! On the other hand, the interval training group in the same study lost several pounds.

Traditional cardio is a waste of time. Inefficient, and possibly ineffective. You are much better focusing on your proper fat loss nutrition and strength and interval workouts.

And you certainly don't have to do extreme amounts of cardio. But some people end up taking their fat loss activities to extremes. Making unhealthy, ineffective, and excessive choices.

For example, one reader emailed me about the 7 hours of cardio she did per week. She wondered why she wasn't losing ANY fat. That is an extreme amount of slow and steady cardio. Something I would never advise for a fat loss program. And she still wanted to do more!

I told her absolutely not. If 7 hours per week does't work for you, why would more? With that mentality, you'll end up spending every single non-working waking minute doing cardio. What kind of life is that?

Another reader wrote in about the pitfalls of her excessively low calorie diet...

"I'm on the weight loss track again. I found I wasn't eating enough calories (1000 kcal/day). Filling up on veggies is good (and I love them), but they don't have the calories. Eating walnuts/almonds helped get me there. Eating 1500+ is where I need to stay to lose weight and keep my energy up. I've dropped about 3 pounds this week."

Inside most people, there is going to be the urge to do more, eat less, or obsess even further about food and exercise when you are trying to reach a fitness or fat loss goal.

But taking eating and working out to the extremes is more often counterproductive, and in the long-run, downright unhealthy.

And the unfortunate thing is that the reader that emailed me about her 7 hours of ineffective aerobic training, was skeptical of the strength and interval workouts, because she didn't think it contained enough cardio.

But really, how much could be enough for this woman? 7 hours wasn't getting her any results. What did she want? 10 hours?

We need to understand that cardio is not the be-all and end-all of fat loss programs. There are many ways to burn fat and calories, not just by spending 60 minutes on an elliptical machine.

All you need are 3 workouts per week of 45 minutes per session. Do 20 minutes of total body strength training followed by 20 minutes of interval training. Then spend the rest of your week staying active through fun activities and focusing on whole, natural foods for your fat loss nutrition. No more extreme cardio!

If you have not heard of the glycemic index (G I), it is the scientific report that helped put an end to the low-carb fad by proving that you can eat carbs and still lose weight the way to do it is to eat healthy low glycemic carbs.

The glycemic index is the measure of the rate at which carbohydrates from a given food enter the bloodstream. While high glycemic foods like white bread trigger a spike in blood sugar levels followed by a crash, low glycemic foods like low-fat yogurt are digested slowly, so blood sugar levels stay steady for hours at a time. The foods to look for are high fiber and not highly processed so that they take more time to digest.

The great thing about this new finding is that weight comes off quickly, and belly fat usually goes first. Women who regularly eat high GI foods develop impaired glucose metabolism, a condition in which insulin loses its ability to help cells use glucose as fuel. And research shows that the resulting blood sugar spikes cut production of the fat burning enzymes of the liver by up to 72%, causing the liver to shuttle the majority of consumed facts straight to the belly. When low GI foods are favored, however, blood sugar is balanced and the liver functions as an incredible fat burning machine.

When you eat a diet rich in low GI foods you can lose significantly more weight than with other diets. And additional studies show that low GI diets help women lose up to 1 pound a day in the first 14 days. The best part: women who've successfully used this weight loss approach never feel deprived because they actually eat. For the best results, experts recommend enjoying three meals and two snacks a day. Try to eat three helpings each of lean protein, fruit, vegetables and low glycemic complex carbs daily. Also include two or three servings of low-fat dairy and to servings of healthy fats daily.

The calorie shifting diet is a good weight loss program to follow. Unlike other diets, where you must reduce your intake of the quantity or the types of foods you can eat, on the calorie shifting diet, you can eat as much food as you want until you are satisfied and you can eat from all four of the major food groups. In doing so, you can expect to lose 9 pounds every 11 days while on this diet regimen.

How does the calorie shifting diet work? This diet is designed around the principle that you can manipulate your body's metabolism, at will, to burn fat quickly, simply by rotationally shifting the types of calories that you consume at each meal over the course of several days.

Somewhat analogous to how a low-carbohydrate diet induces rapid weight loss due to the lack of carbohydrates in your diet, the calorie-shifting diet also induces rapid weight loss by the lack of various nutrients in your body as well.

The major difference is that in a low-carbohydrate diet, you must reduce your carbohydrate intake to only couple dozen grams of carbohydrates per day, whereas in the calorie-shifting diet, you are constantly rotating different types of nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, produce, meats, and breads - in and out of your diet, so that by the time your body goes into "deprivation" mode and begins to burn fat because it is being "starved" of one type of nutrient, you reintroduce that nutrient back into your diet while you remove another one.

The net effect is that your body remains in a perpetual fat-burning mode, even though you are eating plentiful food and you are eating from every food group! Your body is being fooled into thinking that it needs to burn fat.

There are only 4 basic rules to this diet:

1. You must eat four full meals every day.
2. Eat as much food as you want at each meal until you are satisfied but not until you are too full.
3. Space each meal out by at least 2.5 to 3 hours.
4. You must take a break every 12th through 14th days on this diet, to give your body a chance to rest from the rapid weight loss you will be experiencing.

Here are some sample meal plans that illustrate how this diet might look during a typical week. The diet plan actually runs in 11-day cycles but only 3 days are included here, just to give you an idea of how the plan is structured and to give you a sense of how satisfying and sustainable this diet truly is. Keep in mind that each of these four meals may be eaten in any order throughout the day, as long as you only eat that the designated foods at each of their respective meals.

Day 1

Meal #1: Sandwich (any type)

Meal #2: Scrambled Eggs Meal

Meal #3: Flavored Oatmeal

Meal #4: Tuna Salad

Day 2:

Meal #1: Scrambled Eggs and Mixed Vegetables

Meal #2: Banana Milk Shake

Meal #3: Chicken

Meal #4: Cottage Cheese

Day 3:

Meal #1: Chicken

Meal #2: Fish Filet

Meal #3: Fruit Salad

Katy and I wandered through the Op Shop always on the look out for a surprise.

We both enjoy old books and so it was with joy when Katy picked up a 1960s edition of an old elementary school book on physical education.

It seems only yesterday the 60s have come and gone and it is perhaps with the passing of time that there has been a downward slide in the quality of structure and function within our society especially with our children.

Obesity, with its associated symptoms is fast becoming the norm perhaps the word fast with its tendencies toward the over-eating of food-less foods is a major cause.

The increase in chemicals in our food industry is also a major causative factor - are you aware that the FDA allows over 5,000 chemicals to be added to the foods we purchase and ingest?

Then there is the old law that if one puts in more than is eliminated, there will be a build up of poor quality tissues ergo an abnormal increase in weight gain.

And this brings us back to exercise.

When asked for my opinion regarding the best form of exercise I immediately picture a park full of children.

The children are:

- Running, jumping and hopping

- rolling

- climbing

- swinging

- twisting, flexing, stretching, bending and torquing.

In other words, they are putting their bodies through a full range of movements movements that are designed by the structure of the mechanism.

A couple of addendums to this line of thinking are:

1. We very rarely see children in our practise that need an exercise program put into place.

2. If we are seriously looking for an exercise program for ourselves, we could do no better than to become more child-like.

All the best in working on all angles of structure in order to improve function.

The term circuit training simply refers to a group of different exercises that are done back to back in a round-robin "circuit" fashion. This is contrasted with the more traditional method of doing multiple sets of a single exercise before moving on to the next exercise. Circuit training can be utilized with any exercises under the sun, from weight lifting to machines to bodyweight exercise and even bouts of walking or running.

Circuit training has many benefits. The first benefit is that it is much more time efficient. By doing different exercises back to back, it minimizes rest time in between sets and a lot more work is accomplished in a shorter period of time. The second main benefit is an increase in caloric expenditure over traditional methods. This is due to less rest (or no rest) when switching from one exercise to the next.

When doing multiple sets of the same exercise, you have to rest those muscles before they can work again. With circuit training, since you are switching exercises, your muscles from the previous exercise will rest while you are doing the next exercise. Your cardiovascular system isn't getting to rest and this is what leads to the third benefit of circuit training: you can get your resistance and cardio training done at the same time.

The cardiovascular system has two main ways of providing energy to the muscles. The first way is known as oxidative or more commonly referred to as "aerobic." Aerobic exercise is where the intensity level is low enough that the body is able to supply oxygen to the muscles rapidly enough to be used for energy. Aerobic activities (walking, running, Jazzercise) can typically be done for long durations meaning anything over 2 minutes up to multiple hours in the case of long distance running and bicycle riding.

The second way muscles get energy is known as "anaerobic" or without oxygen. This is where the exercise intensity is too high to wait for oxygen, so energy is provided to the muscles through a chemical process. This energy is of a very short duration and depending on the specific process (ATP-CP or glycolysis) can last from about 10 seconds to 2 minutes. These different energy pathways (aerobic/anaerobic) don't work completely independent of each other. The initiation of activity always activates the anaerobic system and there will always be an aerobic component as well. How you train will determine which energy system is emphasized more than the other.

Circuit training focuses primarily on the anaerobic system because you are doing different exercises with little or no rest in between them. This is good because studies have shown that increases in anaerobic performance transfer to increases in aerobic performance as well. The reverse however, is not true. No amount of aerobic activity will help much anaerobically because you are never working hard enough to push past the lactic threshold and activating that system to any appreciable degree.

So, in case I lost some of you, here is the bottom line: Anaerobic activity will lead to a high intensity workout that burns fat, builds a strong heart and cardiovascular system as well as provides more stamina and a faster recovery time than traditional aerobic training. As a bonus, since we are using resistance exercises, you will add lean muscle mass as well which will further help to burn fat by increasing your metabolism (not to mention make you look better and be stronger.)

When combined with a sensible nutrition plan, you can expect to see some good results in terms of weight loss and body composition with an intense circuit workout three or four times per week. Good luck with your training and stay healthy.

This Part 2 of a 2 part article series covering the top 10 reasons kettlebells are relevant fitness tool for almost any fitness program.

6. Athletic Conditioning:
a. Kettlebells are incredibly mobile, much easier to have available while conditioning or even at skills practice.
b. Kettlebells provide valuable variety in conjunction with speed, agility, endurance, and quickness work.
c. Additionally, what athlete couldn't use a little development of hip drive along with learning to accelerate and decelerate load?

These are some of my favorite athletic conditioning drills and kettlbell combinations:

-Two-handed Swing + Hill Sprint
-Snatch + Suicides/Ladders
-Horn Squat and Press + Squat Thrust with Jump
-Cleans + Box Agility Drill

7. Strength Development - One of the knocks on kettlebells has always been that "they are good for conditioning but poor for strength development." This argument becomes pretty much a moot point when you run into the likes of Steve Cotter and Mike Mahler, both of whom are pretty damn strong guys. Of course, then the argument becomes that it doesn't transfer. Again, the answer is that it does transfer. Coach Ken Black was recently here in Phoenix and did some strongman training. He was easily able to lap a 300 lb stone and flip a 900 lb tire for several reps. Not too bad for the first time on both implements. By the way, Ken does the majority of his training with kettlebells. Are kettlebells going to make you a 600 lb bench presser or a 1000 lb squatter? Probably not. However, for the majority of people out there who want to look good "nekkid" and have a good amount of strength to boot, there is definitely merit in using kettlebells for strength training. Given that kettlebells are available for a good price up to and beyond 105 lbs, most guys will be able find a bell that provides more than adequate load stimulus.

8. Unilateral Lifting - The traditional programming for the kettlebell is unilateral. One-arm cleans and snatches are the basis of a lot of kettlebell work, but that is just the start. Two of the most compelling reasons for performing unilateral kettlebell lifts are:

a. The carrying position of the load while performing press drills allows the shoulder girdle to open up which is very beneficial in this day and age of shit posture. Anything you can do to work against a kyphotic upper back posture is huge.

b. The height at which the kettlebell hand is held when performing drills such as the single deadlift is perfect for quick and smooth transitions through a workout. When performed in a traditional manner, single leg squats or pistols place a massive demand on the trunk to provide stability throughout the entire movement.

Want more unilateral movement and trunk stabilization?

Perform some one-arm cleans and snatches using a kettlebell. You'll have it figured out after just a few reps. Sure, all these drills can be performed with dumbbells, but they are definitely enhanced when performed with kettlebells, enough to warrant their consideration.

9. Easy Grip Strengthening - About 90% of the people who walk through the door to my facility have the grip strength of a nine year old girl. The kettlebell is a very appropriate tool for improving grip strength because the handle gets incrementally thicker as the weight gets heavier. This works perfectly. As clients get progressively stronger, they are challenged with thicker handles. One of my favorite introductory drills that kills two birds with one stone is the kettlebell farmer's walk; simple yet very effective at accomplishing several training goals at once.

10. Only One Priority - Whether you are a coach or someone training hard for a particular goal, there is only one thing that matters - Getting Results. The majority of trainees with whom I have contact are very novice and the mere sight of a barbell could send them running out the door and leave me with an empty pocketbook. In contrast, I can have clients deadlifting, squatting, pressing, and sometimes even cleaning or snatching a kettlebell within one or two sessions. To me the sacrifice of the barbell is well worth it, not only from the business aspect, but also because my clients lay down a solid base of good technique due to the aforementioned benefits of using kettlebells. Does this mean I have thrown out my barbell? Hell no! It does mean, however, I have learned a new way to skin a cat. A faster tool to teach = faster results. And that's what really matters to me, and to my clients. (Note: Most women do well starting with a 12 kg/26 lb bell and a somewhat experienced male could start with a 24 kg/53 lb bell).

Could you and I argue the pros and cons of kettlebell training until we were both blue in the face? Yes, and we probably wouldn't come close to a consensus. Do you need to own as many kettlebells as I do? Probably not. But you would be ignoring a very valuable training tool if you didn't at least consider having kettlebells in your training toolbox. In addition to everything that I have discussed here, it's a well-documented fact that kettlebells can help you become bigger, faster, stronger, and more athletic. I am pretty sure each and every one of us is looking to develop at least one of those aspects with our various training programs.

The medifast diet is a very safe and effective diet and weight loss program. The main reason for this is because it gives enough nutrition while at the same time induces your body into a mild fat-burning state.

What is the Fat-Burning State?

When you are on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan, your daily calorie intake is very low at around 800 to 1,000 calories. This causes your body to enter a fat-burning state - a "mild ketosis". In this state, your bodys fat releases free fatty acids, which are transformed by the liver to an energy source - the ketones. This mild fat-burning state helps the body achieve fast weight loss while preserving muscle tissue. It also helps eliminate physical hunger and provides sufficient levels of energy at the same time.

The fat-burning state is not harmful to your health. It is just a normal way that your body uses to manage energy. You get enough protein intake on the Medifast 5 & 1 Plan so that you are protected from losing muscle tissue. Regular exercise also helps in this area.

Are you in a fat-burning state?

You will know that you are in the fat-burning state if you feel less hungry and more energized, and start losing weight at a steady rate. It usually takes about 3-5 days, after you start the medifast diet, for you to move into the fat-burning state.

Do I need to use ketone test strips?

It is not recommended that you use ketone test strips while on the medifast 5 & 1 plan because:

1) With medifast program, you are only in a mild fat-burning state. The ketone test strips are meant to be used for a much stronger fat-burning state as you would be in a low carbohydrate diet.

2) The ketone test strips can give you inaccurate results if you are not using them consistently very day - the same way at the same time.

The flat belly diet is a new diet that is currently taking the diet world by storm. It helps you to lose weight both quickly and continuously over a period of time and is also completely safe to use. Find out more by reading this article.

The new diet is based around a new technique known as calorie shifting. The calorie shifting diet works by mixing up the amount of calories you consume at each meal which confuses your body and the metabolism.

With low calorie diets weight loss soon grinds to an halt because your body recognizes your eating patterns and so slows down the fat burning system accordingly. With the constant swapping and changing invovled in this method your body fails to get used to any eating pattern. However because of the confusion rather than staying at its usual rate it actually panics and begins to work faster.

The diet also consists of eating 4 meals a day. This helps firstly to stop you feeling cravings between meals but that isn't its main use. The real reason for eating 4 meals a day is that it keeps your metabolism working non stop meaning calories are being burned all day long.

Thousands of users are now using the calorie shifting method and many are recording amazing results. Weight loss forums are packed with members saying they've lost over the 9 pounds in 11 days that the diet promises and all these users can't be wrong.

The flat belly diet is one of the few ( if not the only ) diets around at the moment which combines fast, safe and continuous weight loss and for that it has to be recommended for anyone looking to lose weight and get a flat belly.

I do a lot of research on health and nutrition and nothing makes me madder than the food industry intentionally, without my permission and yours, producing food that causes you and I not only to be addicted to it, but makes us fat! They do this by adding MSG to just about everything we eat!

I admire people like John Erb, who was a research assistant at the University of Ontario and wrote the book, "The Slow Poisoning of America", as one of the many people blowing the whistle on MSG. The subject of MSG is not new, but not enough attention is being paid to it and the food industry is certainly not going to tell you about it because they are making too much money from it.

MSG is so pervasive in our society that you may not be aware that you are consuming it daily. It is in processed foods, canned, frozen or boxed, restaurants and fast food chains. My husband and I were shocked to find MSG in almost all the vitamin supplements we had. Most consumers are not aware of it because we are being tricked with labeling.

MSG has many aliases. Here is a list of some of the other names for MSG:

- Monosodium glutamate, monopotassium glutamate, glutamic acid
- Anything that says hydrolyzed (such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein)
- Anything that says Autolized
- Anything that says natural flavor, or flavors, natural flavoring, flavorings
- Calcium caseinate
- Sodium caseinate
- Yeast extract
- Seasonings
- Soy protein, wheat protein, whey protein, anything fortified protein
- Textured protein
- Carrageenan
- Gelatin
- Soy sauce
- Bouillon, pork, chicken, beef
- Barley malt, malt extract, maltodextrin
- Enzymes
- Corn syrup, corn starch, dextrose
- Citric acid

You may be asking how it is possible that MSG can come under so many different names. The FDA has stated that if you use MSG in a product it must be labeled that way. If you use for example; hydrolyzed vegetable protein (which has MSG in it) it must be labeled by its common name and not MSG. This is the loophole the food industry uses to hide the word MSG.

Studies done over the last 30 years on rats have consistently shown that MSG makes them fat. Rats are not naturally fat so it has to be created. The studies done showed up to a 40% increase in appetite in the rats fed with MSG.

It works like this. Your tongue has receptors to detect sugars, carbohydrates, fats and protein, and it is used to determine if actual food is in your mouth. The food industry has figured out that MSG fools the taste receptors into thinking it is going to be receiving protein or sugars etc, so now your pancreas now goes into action releasing insulin to do its job. Within half an hour to an hour you have a blood sugar drop and you want to eat again. So you eat more food with MSG and you continue this circuit over and over again. And don't forget to check your diet foods, which are usually loaded with MSG.

True weight loss is achieved by the few who have true stamina and will power because for the rest of us, well, the odds are stacked against us. The food industry wants you to buy their food and keep you addicted and keep you gaining weight because now companies can jump on the band wagon and get you buying weight loss pills and prescription drugs. Is there MSG in the diet and prescription pills? The odds are very high that this is the case.

If you have struggled with weight and health issues without success, don't just give up hope yet. Education is the key. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with this information. For my husband and I, we have given up MSG and we eat organic. I have lost 20 lbs to date and feel great. There are some reputable companies that produce superior products without MSG and pesticides and it is worth seeking them out and supporting their efforts while getting you and your family healthy.

I hope this helps!

Bodybuilders use high repetition sets to get ripped, but could get more results in less time by doing less work.

High repetition sets do not get you cut.

This is a myth, and there's a much better way to sculpt your body, get ripped, and finally achieve the elusive 6-pack.

But again, let me repeat, you won't succeed with high-repetition sets using light weights. And don't even worry about the "pump", but that's another article for another day. To get ripped, its all about nutrition and intensity. We want to be able to see our well-earned muscles and our 6-pack abs.

And that's why we get lured into the belief of the cutting exercises. Because it causes a burn in our muscles, we generally think, hey, this must be burning fat. But it's not! It's just a fatiguing sensation. If you are using a high-rep, cutting program, I doubt you are getting the results you want. You don't need to be in the gym too long.

There is a better way to burn fat. A faster way. And a smarter way. It doesn't involve "toning" workouts or "Cutting exercises". What you need to do for fat loss, and getting cut, is to focus on the same exercises that helped you build muscle in the first place.

So forget the pec-dec, and stick with dumbbell presses. Say goodbye to leg extensions, and keep using squats and lunges. Next up is the shocker! Use intervals to cut fat fast! Instead, we'll use interval training to burn fat and boost our metabolism in less than half the time as a normal cardio workout. Only 20 minutes of interval training done 3 times per week resulted in weight loss in one Australian study.

On the other hand, three 40-minute cardio sessions did not cause any weight loss in the same study. Shocking results, but it just goes to show you the power of intensity. No more slow boring aerobics. That means saying goodbye to light weights and high reps and long slow cardio. Goodbye, nice to know you! If you want to get ripped muscles, diet hard?

First, you need the proper dietary changes to promote muscle gains and body fat reductions. Nutrition is the most important factor for fat burning and getting cut. If your nutrition sucks, and you eat fast food or skip meals, you are in big trouble. There is no workout good enough to overcome bad nutrition. Next, focus on multi-muscle strength exercises and finish with interval training to burn more calories out of the gym.

No more machines. No more high reps. Use more intensity and put turbulence on your muscles. If you did a squat, a press, and a row in each workout, and then did intervals, you'd get ripped if your nutrition was good. Keep it incredibly simple, but intense.

Forget about slow boring cardio. You need to do short burst exercise instead. Consistency is key for getting cut.

Forget bodybuilding, use Turbulence Training to get ripped. Burn fat with bodyweight exercises.

Is losing weight difficult?

It will depends on your determination. Do you really want it? Are you ready to do whatever it takes to lose those extra pounds?

It's funny, but losing weight is like going to school. You will learn how to burn the body fat, and then, you need to apply what you discovered.

There are no secrets. Most of the people who don't manage to lose weight don't follow the method they try until completion.

1. Motivation

You need to have a good reason to lose weight. Ask yourself: "Why I want to lose weight?".

Write this on a piece of paper and put it everywhere in your house. Put in near your computer at the office.

Add this as a sticky on your fridge, put it on the doors and everywhere you can. You need to see this goal several time a day.

In fact, you need to think about it.

2. Announce it to the world

I know it seems crazy, but telling your friends and family members that your goal is to lose 10 pounds by the month of July will help you to reach your goal faster.

Plus if you lose motivation, they will remind you. If you go watch a movie and start eating chips, they will tell you to stop.

This work very well, so make sure that you let your friends and family know what you are doing. This will be like a little mastermind. And who knows, maybe you will find someone who is dieting as well.

3. Fasting

Fasting three days every single month of the year will help you to lose weight. Plus all your body will benefit from fasting.

You should be sporting a six-pack by now. Those hours a day at the gym on the running, rowing and cycling machine, combined with an endless amount of sit ups should have gotten you a six-pack by now. But it's not happening. You thought you knew how to get rid of belly fat. You thought you had it down to an art form, how wrong were you.

You're frustrated and saddened. That reflection in the mirror isn't what you hoped for. You're wondering where your efforts have gone and you're on the verge of giving up. It's that pooch at the bottom of your belly that's bothering you the most. It just doesn't seem to shift.

You wish you could just cut off that annoying flab sitting below your midriff. But before you do anything extreme! Realize that anyone can learn how to lose lower belly fat. This ever elusive answer to knowing how to get rid of belly fat effectively has eluded so many people because frankly there are just too many answers out there.

Most gym slaves are frustrated week after week, unable to shift that lower belly fat regardless of how many crunches they do. Heck, you might eventually get a four-pack, but there will always be that lower flab preventing you from getting to the next level.

Little do they know that the answer to how to get rid of belly fat in the lower regions is not what they believe it to be. Who wants to spend hours in the gym anyway?

Put it this way, if you have spent hours at the gym and you're starting to see gradual results, it's a start. Now you can continue the way you're going and maybe, just maybe in a few years you'll see the results you've always wanted. Now, there's no guarantee you'll ever reach your desired results, so it's insane to go this route.

Simply put, relying on a single method isn't your answer to how to lose lower belly fat. To effectively lose weight and gain a ripped body and a six-pack to be proud, of all you have to do is make small changes. Even if you've never stepped in a gym or rarely exercise, there are simple guidelines you can apply to your cardio workouts or diet that will make dramatic differences in results.

It's about increasing effectiveness and efficiency. After all you want to see great results in the littlest time possible. We can do this by turning your body into a super fat burning machine. To do this you will only need to adjust a few important aspects in your training or eating habits.

Most newbies to training, start their exercise regime so horribly wrong. They don't have the foggiest idea on how to perform exercises well, they don't combine cardio workouts with weight training and they simply eat poorly which will prevent them from seeing results.

If you really want to know how to get rid of belly fat, then it may be that you'll need change your game plan completely. If you're lucky, you may just have to apply one or two amendments. If you want to succeed, it's down to you to get the right expert advice.
